I guess the point I'm making is that SORBS is about getting rid of
spam to which their middleware is getting a lot of hits coming from
gmail MX's. We can't make a rule that says, if you're big enough then
it doesn't apply to you.
I agree commerce needs to continue but we fight all the time for a
level playing field, this is no different. Yeah we allow the traffic
surely our attitude should be more about pressureing gmail to create
extra measures to combat it further.
and Google's answer was to pressure the C*s of the people who pay my
wages to whitelist them unconditionally or issue press releases designed
specifically to destroy *their* credibility. ('their' being the C*'s not
Google)... that's what they think of the world in a nutshell.
*This* is why I stand my ground on them. (Note: I have implemented
controls and checks to give the larger legitimate providers a more
lenient policy in output spam, providing they engaged in actively
terminating their spammers. Microsoft signed up, Google refused... draw
your own conclusions.)
